Office romance is a situation where two people working in the same place are involved in a romantic relationship. Sometimes, we can't control love.

So as a manager, you find out that two of your staff are dating. What would you do?

If the romance doesn't in anyway hinder or slows down the smooth running of the business,then there's no need worrying yourself about it, but if it hinders it, then the workers need to be separated from each other as soon as possible

What do you expect the manager to do?. Who know if the manager got his wife from office dating?. So far the relationship does not jeopardize the official work. They should ride on.

Have you ever been in business before? Do you know a part of man management called "managing emotions"? In that part of management, you don't employ people that are related in the same organization. That's because injury to one might be seen as injury to all.

It can easily lead to bad blood between employees and management. You know how emotions work. Now you give the guy a task to complete, the girl is pained because she is involved with the guy. You now would be having two disgruntled staff to manage instead of one.

In some companies, it is not allowed to have a relationship as much as possible. If they are going to get married, one needs to resign.

If office romance does not interfere with their work, they are free to continue. It can lead to something more, but in most cases, it does out. Just know your limits and when and how to interfere so you don't become the bad guy.

Well if there is no rule that says staff members shouldn't date, then i have notting against them, especially if it does not affect their work or performance. On the other hand, in a situation where the law does not permit staff dating, i believe the same law should also state the punishment as well.

From the experience I have, office romance or dating someone in the same workplace has negative effects on a business. What about the possibility of them doing immoral acts in your office or establishment? We are talking about emotions.

If I am the manager, I would call the two people involved and tell that that their relationship should not interfere with my work. Love can be found anywhere. Even in the workplace.

The case of office romance are very dominant right now but it is important to caution the people involved so that it shouldn't affect the business.

I would just leave them to continue with their love but I would only advise them not to show their love in the work place. They must know that they are in a work place and let them expres the love at home.
